Marriage

I say yes to marriage but I would like to first attempt to define it so that we're all on the same page.

Marriage is a very difficult topic for most people. It is thoroughly misunderstood largely because it is usually interpreted through a world view lens which distorts its intended purpose. In fact, marriage is an institution ordained by God; a support mechanism designed to protect humans and provide them with everything they will need on this earth! The depth of intimacy, loyalty and security which ought to perpetuate marriages so often fails because we fail to view marriage as God views it; we fail to accept it on God's terms, we fail to observe to do all that God (and by God I mean the God of the bible exclusively) so wisely advises us to do in order to sustain marriage.

I don't think marriage is for everybody because some of us simply do not have the character, faithfulness, knowledge and patience that it takes to make it work. On the other hand, sex outside of marriage is spiritually illegal along with other sexual and morality issues that I won't go into here for fear of offending some of my FB friends.

Think about it before you get into it. Choose someone that you want to see everyday of your life and who feels exactly the same way about you. Somebody that makes you laugh, feeds you and doesn't beat you! Somebody that goes to church, but not for show; not perfect but not still struggling with drugs or alcohol, employment, or the past, infidelity or being honest, sensitive and compassionate yet strong and firm. And if you can't find him marry somebody like me instead! LOL!

Seriously, Women! Take Steve Harvey's advice and find a real man! Someone that respects women, takes care of his mother, would die to protect his sister's virtue, is not lazy, not a drunkard, a man who knows who he is because he has already found himself in the Word of God and has worked diligently to reconcile himself to God's will as it is so eloquently expressed in the bible.
